Is This A Scam?

[Rain City]

What do you guys think? I can't find the businesses online and the addresses in the quotes don't match any kind of business listing.

Same here. Was looking for a 20ft C can, couldn't find anything and all the ones I did find wanted a large deposit and would have to wait. Also they didn't want you to be able to look at it before delivery. Any of the sellers I could find that were on the up and up said the same thing, no inventory.

That's what I've been hearing. No inventory or like $5k for 10s $6k for 20s and $7k for 40s. Double what they were two years ago.

Exactly. My cousin bought 2 20ft containers, delivered to Port Alberni for $8000 Pre Covid.

I'm not sure if it has happened already or not but check the Able auctions site,they were or are having a container auction ,may be worth a look

Pretty much all these container adds are scams, there’s new ones posted daily. Usually pretty easy to tell, there stock photos and if you look at who posted it its usually a brand new account.

Most likely, there was something on the news about a similar scam in the Maritimes within the last couple of years.

I read the title of your post. Before I even opened it up to see what it was I said to myself, It is a scam! That inner voice you have that goes off is always right, listen to it. The old saying, If it is too good to be true.................................. is also a good one.
